Postfix survives disk full conditions without crashing, thank you
very much. Please substantiate your claims about Postfix crashing
or else don't make such claims.

In order to stop receiving mail when the disk runs out of space,
specify "queue_minfree = $message_size_limit".

Read http://www.porcupine.org/postfix-mirror/resource.html for
more information.
